Airing Date Jan.09, 2011 - one day after the Tucson shooting.

Discusses gun control in general.

1. No, there aren't

Just a bunch of horse's asses and queen bees.

2. Sounds about right...

My what a contrast there is in the sensibilities of Vermont and New Hampshire. The DNC should strip NH of their "first-in-the-nation" status and give it to Vermont.

The latest insanity coming from some members of the New Hampshire state legislature:

Bill would let some felons have guns
Another would lift ban on firing in city

Manuse said his intention is to make New Hampshire law comply with the state Constitution, which says penalties must be proportional. Therefore, he said, a violent felony should not be punished the same as a nonviolent felony.

The bill's supporters testifying yesterday included Rep. Mark Warden, a Manchester Republican who called the legislation a "common sense bill," Rep. Al Baldasaro, a Londonderry Republican, and Rep. George Lambert, a Litchfield Republican.

Lambert asked the committee to remember that New Hampshire forbids felons from other states from having guns even if a felony in one state is not a felony offense in New Hampshire. He also offered the example of Martha Stewart, whose felony insider trading conviction would prevent her from coming to New Hampshire with a gun.

"If I invite Martha Stewart to my house to give my wife a little lesson in cooking and manners, she couldn't come (with a gun) because she's a felon," Lambert said.
